I'm all about efficient workouts and exercises, which is why the glider knee tuck and push-up has become one of my go-to moves [1]. The push-up will help you improve your upper-body strength and the knee tuck targets your abdominal muscles. You don't need to do many reps to feel your muscles working, which is another reason why I love it.
Add this exercise into your next bodyweight workout [2] or use it to activate your core [3] and arms before starting your workout.
How to Do a Knee Tuck With Push-Up
- Start in a plank position with a glider underneath each foot. If you don't have gliders, you can use a towel on a hard surface to perform this exercise.
- Engage your core and bring both knees in, toward your elbows. With control, return to the start position. Then, do a push-up. Your core should be engaged and your back should be in a neutral position throughout the entire movement.
- This counts as one rep.
- Complete three sets of 10 reps.
